Although many prefer the experience of visiting stone shops to see furniture first hand, More and more users are making all their purchases directly over the internet. And it is so that although IKEA has had an on-site tool for several years that allows us to create furniture configurations in a generic virtual space, the Swedish company has now gone a step further.

Using this technology and thanks to the additional use of augmented reality, we now see what they would look like corporate furniture right at home with IKEA Kreativ application. Currently only available for iOS devices, with a LiDaR scanner, this tool can scan our rooms and create a 3D replica of them, even allowing us to erase our own furniture and create completely open spaces so that we can see the new furniture more. easy, easy.

For other users, however, we will have an alternative the ability to use the app directly through the IKEA website from any device. We only need that upload a series of photos of the relevant room which we want to recreate, which are «automatically rendered and assembled into an interactive widescreen replica of the space with precise dimensions and perspective“, As IKEA itself explained in its press release.

From there, thanks to the artificial intelligence developed for this application, we will be able to erase existing furniture and place new IKEA pieces, quickly test alternatives and completely design the room. In addition, we can save any of our projects so that we can continue or edit them at any time, and even share or print them. Of course, the application also allows you to add preferred parts to the shopping cart.

However, if you do not feel comfortable sharing these pictures of your home, IKEA also introduced 50 new 3D showroomswhich will allow us to virtually explore much of its catalog so we can test products in 3D configurations, with the ability to move, rotate, stack and even hang on walls.
